How to Build Swim Floats

Don't waste your money on expensive swim floats that you may break or lose anyway. Instead, build your own flotation devices with empty milk jugs. You will be saving money and reusing at the same time. Whether you are going to the lake or a swimming pool, you will be able to relax and look chic while floating in an eco-friendly fashion. If you happen to misplace your floats, it is no big deal. You can simply reuse another pair of milk jugs and you are not out any money.
